Mina dropped the spoon and fork in her hand and looked into Rachel's face. "I want to know what you did that made Chad fell in love with you?" she asked curiously.
Rachel was stunned by Mina's question.
She did not expect her to ask her that. She leaned back in the chair and thought of the question.
She didn't do anything special to get Chad's love. Rachel was just herself. She was a low-class person. A poor farm worker that caught Chad's attention.
Mina had to admit that Rachel was beautiful and she had a kind heart, but what she did not understand was why Chad chose Rachel instead of her.
Mina tilted her head and placed her right hand atop Rachel's hand. "Well..."
Rachel immediately shook her head. "Sorry, what was your question again?"
Mina smiled sweetly at her and repeated her question. "I said I want to know what you did to Chad that made him love you so much?"
"I didn't do anything to make him fall in love with me. I am just myself. You know, they are some things men like to see in women" she paused for few minutes and then continued. "I can remember when we were young, Chad was very arrogant and cold. He did not care about anybody apart from himself and his parent"
"Yeah. That's how he is, but I was so surprised when I came back from the U.S to see Chad with a woman. The Chad I used to know is different from the Chad I know now. Back then when we were young he never liked girls been around him. He never talked to me. We were like complete strangers even though we lived under the same roof. I left to study in the U.S and I came back only to see him with another woman which is you. I was so jealous and angry with you for taking Chad away from me, but I have realised that no matter what I do to get Chad, it won't work" She said in a low, sad voice. Her face was filled with sadness and pain.
Rachel could feel her pain. She gently patted Mina's hand.
Mina realised the more she tried to get Chad to love her, the more he distanced himself from her. After racking her brain on several ways to get Chad, she thought of been close to Rachel to get Chad from her.
"Don't be sad Mina. Chad might not be the right person for you, but that doesn't mean you should give up on the whole forest for a tree. There are so many fishes in the sea. It's not too late to have someone that will love you and cherish you the way you want" Rachel consoled Mina.
"Thank you so much Rachel. I am so happy to have you by my side always" she smiled sweetly.
No one would ever think that Mina was only pretending to be nice and innocent.
Rachel really believed everything Mina told her. She never saw it in Mina that she was only pretending. She thought of Mina as a good person, but Johanna saw Mina as a pretentious and manipulative person who would do everything to get what she wanted.
After some minutes of chatting, Johanna was getting bored and tired of staying with them. She never said anything since she got to the resturant. She was only there for Rachel.
Johanna glanced at her wristwatch and said, "Rachel, it's time to go home. Aunt might be waiting for us"
"Johanna, will you please wait for few minutes and we will all go home" Mina said slowly at Johanna.
Before Johanna could open her mouth to talk, Rachel immediately said, "Johanna, can you please don't be so impatient. We will go home soon" she said and continued eating her food at the same time talking with Mina.
"But aunt..."
"Johanna please"
Johanna immediately shut her mouth. She knew it was no use talking to Rachel. The only person Rachel was talking to was Mina.
Johanna felt jealous and angry at the same time. It was like Mina was trying to take Rachel away from her.
Johanna wouldn't allow that. She stood up from her seat and walked to the ladies bathroom. Rachel did not even notice Johanna leave. She was really enjoying staying with Mina.
***
Johanna pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed Chad's number.
Chad was in his office working when his phone rang. Seeing the ID, he picked the call.
"Yes Johanna, what's wrong?" he said as he inscribe his name on a paper and gave it to a female staff in front of him and waved his hand telling her to leave his office. The girl bow, turned around and left the office.
"I want you to come now" she said in a worried voice.
"Why? Didn't the driver I sent to you come to pick you guys?" he asked and stood up from his seat and walked to the corner of his office and sat down on the couch.
"No, Mina took Rachel and I to your favorite restaurant"
"What?" His eyes widened in surprise.
"We are still at the restaurant and she won't allow us to go home and I don't trust her. She might try to hurt Rachel or maybe she might poison her or something. Only God knows what's going on in her mind right now" she said in a terrified voice.
Chad's eyes became dark immediately. He clenched his fist slowly. "Are you still at the resturant?"
"Yes"
He immediately shot out of the couch. "Stay with Rachel and make sure nothing bad happens to her. I am on my way, okay?"
"Okay" she nodded her head and hung up the phone and deep it back into her pocket, and she walked out of the bathroom.
Chad immediately grabbed his jacket and headed towards the door. He opened the door and joy who was looking, bumped into him with the files in her hand.
"What the heck?" his face was glowing red in anger.
The files fell and she immediately bent down to pick the scattered papers on the floor
"I am sorry sir Chad. I am really sorry sir Chad" she immediately apologized.
Chad was about to leave when she said, "Sir Chad, these are the..."
"Put them on my table. I am leaving" he immediately cut her off and left without allowing her to say anything.
Joy gently walked towards his table and dropped the files on his table and left.
It didn't take Chad twenty minutes before he got to the resturant. He got down from his car and walked into the restaurant.
The manager, Mr. Seth who was talking to a waiter subconsciously turned to Chad and smiled. "Mr. Chad..." he said and walked over to Chad.
The name 'Mr. Chad' made all the girls in the restaurant turned their head to look at him.
"That is sir Chad. Right?"
"Yes, he is so handsome"
"Yeah, I wish he was mine"
Some girls began to talk about him. He was like a charm to all girls in the world, So many girls made him their crush, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
Chad was a young and handsome guy. He was every girls dream. He was also from a very wealthy family.
The boys who were with some girls staring at Chad became very jealous, but they could not go to Chad and beat him up. They only stayed on their seat and watched quietly. Some tried to get their girlfriend's attention back, but their eyes were fixed on Chad.
Some prayed for Chad to leave the restaurant on time, so their girlfriend would have time for them.
"Mr. Chad, What do you want? It's been a long time since you visited this restaurant"
Even though Mr. Seth was older than Chad, he had to respect him.
Chad did not reply. His cold eyes flicker around the restaurant looking for Rachel.
"Mr. Chad, do you need anything?" Mr Seth asked again with a smile on his face.
Chad slowly raised his eyebrows when he saw Rachel laughing and talking with Mina.
"Mr. Chad..."
"I don't need anything" he said and walked away.
Mr. Seth wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Chad's body guards. He understood what they meant.
"I will just be around...haha" he forced a smile on his face and walked away.
"I never knew you were already this close to Rachel " The voice of Chad which was cold scared Rachel and Mina.
"W...what are you doing here?" Mina and Rachel asked at the same time.
They were not expecting Chad to show up like that.
Chad turned to Mina. "I never knew you guys were so close that you will even bring her to my favorite restaurant" he said with calmness which scared Mina.
Chad had never talked in this kind of voice whenever he is angry. It scared Mina so much they she could not even say a word.
He turned to Rachel. "So tell me when did you guys became friends?"
"I... I" she didn't know how to answer Chad.
Chad immediately grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the restaurant. Mina and Johanna stood up and ran after them
